water is the most important factor for agriculture development in iran. accordingly the optimal consumptione of water is very important. using pressurized irrigation system is one of the methods to improve agricultural water management. the objecttives of this research were to compare two irrigation methods of furrow and trickle irrigation systems impacts on quantity and quality characters of s...

with population growing throughout the world, it is necessary to optimize water use,especially in agricultural lands. in order to conduct technical and economical evaluation ofdrip and furrow irrigation methods under deficit irrigation of cotton, a field experiment wascarried out during 2010 growing season at experimental farm of orzoueyeh agricultural andnatural resources research center in ke...

abstract:background and objectives:in arid and semi-arid regions, salinity is a serious and chronic problem for agriculture. due to the improved methods of irrigation and mechanization this methods to increase water use efficiency and enhance the uniformity of water distribution in the field, is very important. main area of farming cotton in iran is about 150000 ha, which in kerman province mos...

abstract- efficient use of irrigation water for summer crops should be considered seriously due to rare occurrence of precipitation in summer. this research was focused on the assessment of water use efficiency for dominant crops of summer cropping pattern in the study area (i.e., maize and rice) via considering water productivity (wp) with different water management scenarios at farm level at ...

in order to investigate the effect of soil matric potential and tube layout on yield and water use efficiency of greenhouse cucumber, a field experiment was carried out during 2010 and 2012 growing seasons at an experimental farm in jiroft territory. the treatments were laid out in strip split plot a randomized complete block design with three replications. the treatments were comprised of fore...

An agricultural water conservation policy prevalent worldwide encourages producers to improve on-farm irrigation efficiency. Contrary to intention, increasing empirical evidence reveals that this policy may set an ‘irrigation efficiency trap’ that worsens water crises by reducing water supplies and jeopardizing economic growth. We derive a pair of testable hydrologic-economic conditions require...

Film hole irrigation is an advanced low-cost and high-efficiency irrigation method, which can improve water conservation and water use efficiency. Given its various advantages and potential applications, we conducted a laboratory study to investigate the effects of soil texture, bulk density, initial soil moisture, irrigation depth, opening ratio (ρ), film hole diameter (D), and spacing on cumu...
